“How could it be a lie?” Gu Mu chuckled and poked her head. “Don’t worry, I keep my word.”
A ruler's word is his bond.
Gu Mu saw a bright, childlike smile bloom on Shen Ling's face.
This kind of laughter is pure and genuine, without a trace of impurity.
It was as if the wounds she had suffered had suddenly faded from Shen Ling's face.
It also gave him back a clean, innocent, and most authentic Shenling.
At that moment, Gu Mu also heard a "beep" sound.
[Congratulations, host! You have completed the task of "making the female lead happy" and have received the reward: Male Lead Value +1]
[As the male protagonist with the highest stats in this female-oriented novel world, he receives an extra reward: Sharp Eyes.]
[Introduction to the "Eagle Eyes": It's often said that only women truly understand women, and men are frequently deceived by seemingly innocent but actually manipulative women. With the "Eagle Eyes" ability, you can better observe details in life, uncover the truth, and more accurately judge people.]
? ? ?
After reading the introduction, Gu Mu was speechless.
Is it really going to keep developing in the direction of female-oriented novels?
Is this ability to see with discerning eyes useful to him? Is it useful? Is it useful?
Isn't this helping the female lead?
What impact do green tea and white lotus have on Gu Mu? Whether it's a green tea, a white lotus, or a virtuous woman, they all have to please him.
The purpose of enabling him to accurately identify people is simply to allow him to know that the female lead has truly been framed after she is framed, thus enabling him to better help her.
But this reward... Gu Mu couldn't refuse it.
Because being able to better help the female lead means he can accumulate male lead points faster.
Without going into anything else, as long as he becomes the male lead and those few dozen words are added to the synopsis, everything will be fine.
Therefore, Gu Mu could only accept this reward with a smile.
"Your Majesty... meeting you is truly my greatest fortune." Shen Ling held Gu Mu's hand tightly.
Suddenly I realized that God gave her a second chance not so that she could seek revenge or live with hatred.
It's possible that it was so that she could meet Gu Mu.
Because her world and Gu Mu's world are completely unrelated.
So her rebirth and Gu Mu's transmigration brought the two together and created a destiny.
...
But Shen Ling didn't know that she and Gu Mu were not meant to be; it was all thanks to Gu Mu exploiting a system bug and imprisoning the parchment scroll.
This resulted in the loss of an important, yet-to-be-developed, villain candidate in the world of female-oriented fiction.
The subsequent plot could not proceed in the expected manner...
That's how their fate came together.
"I'm quite lucky to have met you," Gu Mu said, his words not at all perfunctory.
After all, he was a single guy before he transmigrated.
I never expected that after transmigrating to this world, I would immediately encounter a marriage proposal, and with such a beautiful wife at that.
That solved a major life event in one go.
The two held hands tightly, and the whole world was sending their blessings.
"May the whole world rejoice! The new emperor has ascended the throne, and a general amnesty is hereby granted!"
Such sounds can be heard from time to time in the streets and alleys of the people.
At this moment, the people all cheered.
They congratulated the new emperor on his ascension to the throne, and also congratulated him on the rest of his life.
At this moment, the new emperor and empress held hands tightly.
The whole world was cheering.
Because the big fish in the capital was so calm and collected, Gu Mu began to doubt whether this big fish really existed.
But Gu Mu believed in his previous judgment.
The only person who could possibly be the big fish is Su Linle, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, who said that the blood-drop kinship test was unreasonable.
However, Su Linle has always been meticulous in his work.
The reason he stood up in the court that day was likely because of the matter of the royal bloodline, a matter of great importance that could not be taken lightly.
However, at the moment, he is the most likely candidate.
Therefore, Gu Mu sent out assassins to secretly follow Su Linle and investigate his daily activities and interpersonal relationships.
If anything seems suspicious, go to the Hidden City immediately and inform the parchment scroll to report to Gu Mu.
After a few days of calm...
A person appeared in the hidden city.
Because he entered with a token, Hidden City would first ask Gu Mu for permission before allowing him to enter.
Only those who belong entirely to Gu Mu, such as the sheepskin scroll and the assassins, can enter and leave the Hidden City without permission or hindrance.
The real right to enter the Hidden City is actually still in Gu Mu's hands.
The token and citizenship are merely rules that Gu Mu has set for the people of the world.
Gu Mu looked at the man, who was wearing a dark blue belted robe, which made him look somewhat capable, but he was hunched over, his skin was rough, and his features were also very rough and mediocre, plus he had a full beard.
He looked somewhat unkempt.
But for some reason, Gu Mu felt that this person was somewhat familiar.
Perhaps it was his keen eye that made him better at discovering things in life that others couldn't, but he always felt that the people entering the Hidden City were people he had never seen before.
Yet it felt like I'd seen it before.
It really gives people a contradictory feeling.
Gu Mu suspended his consciousness in mid-air, observing the person's actions.
But soon... Gu Mu learned the man's true identity; this was the young man in blue robes he had been waiting for.
It must be said that the young man in the blue robe was really good at disguising himself. If he hadn't had such keen eyesight, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell that he had seen this person before.
As soon as the young man in the green robe entered, Lu Xiaoyao, who was squatting at the door, recognized him at a glance.
Gu Mu couldn't help but wonder whether these two were truly close friends, or if it was your enemy who understood you better than your friends.
Even though the young man in the blue robe looked completely different from before, Lu Xiaoyao recognized him at first glance.
Lacking a suitable weapon, she simply raised her leg and kicked the young man in the blue robe in the face, angrily saying, "Master, you secretly accepted an assassination order in Jiangnan without telling me?!"
"We agreed on a 90/10 split, how could you be so unreasonable as to not even give me that 10%?"
Gu Mu's expression changed drastically in mid-air.
He underestimated Lu Xiaoyao, who seemed innocent yet somewhat mischievous.
After all, her somewhat youthful face is very deceptive.
Lu Xiaoyao didn't ask why the young man in the green robe had only come to find him now. Instead, he asked about the less important matter of the Jiangnan assassination and the division of profits.
Although it could be due to Lu Xiaoyao's greedy nature.
But if... she and the young man in green robes have been traveling the martial world for many years and have enough tacit understanding, the young man in green robes will figure out the trick and thus cooperate with Lu Xiaoyao.
The young man in the green robe was kicked, but because of his good martial arts skills, he managed to keep his balance and was not knocked to the ground like most people.
He chuckled naturally and said, "Even a single coin is money, and it shouldn't be treated casually. Besides, that ten percent isn't just one coin, but a lot of coins. How could I just give it to you so easily?"
